What makes different programming languages “better” than others? Or more powerful? Why have different languages developed over time? Are they all based on the same thing?

There is no “best” language any more than there is a “best” hammer or a “best” knife. The tool fits the job.
I need you to get it done fast and quick? Python.
I need you to do Stats and data analysis? R knows what you need.
I need you to be a small part of a really big development team and have your code interface with other people’s code. Java has you covered.
The thing that gets lost on non-programmers is how effortless it is to change between languages . “You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don’t even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.”
